First things first. If you haven't heard the soundtrack... yup, I called it a soundtrack, stop what you're doing and go listen! The music gives so much more life and realism to the storyline.
Now that we've gotten that out of the way, on to Willow and Devin. I loved them! They have easily moved to the top as my favorite Prototype couple. Everything about this book was centered around finding, knowing and being secure with yourself. Willow suffered from a case of "I can do it all!" In doing it all for everyone except herself, she ended up lost. Willow was the domain owner and host of everything Devin related, and this left all things Willow related on the back burner. She knew him better than she knew herself and a relationship doesn't work when only one person is secure.
Devin was sooooo not what I expected. He loved him so Willow and he was good to Willow. Devin's perceived shortcomings were all related to his inability to give Willow a lifestyle that she was accustomed to and that he thought she deserved. Willow didn't care about any of that, she just wanted Devin..... and she got him!
This story was just full...... full of light, love, happiness, loss and life. You definitely should read it if you haven't.... oh, and listen to the playlist! :)

Keeping Willow remains true to all the feelings in Happiness in Jersey and Finding Kennedy. It was thrilling to finally explore the relationship between Devin and Willow. I could actually feel the pressure they were both under - both in the relationship and outside of it. While Jersey/Zay and Kennedy/Travis feel like old souls who had already been through a lot, Devin and Willow take on the dynamic of what happens when you fall in a deep, all consuming kind of love when you are young and still figuring yourself out. This story is real, when it is gut wrenching and when it is light. As always, Jacinta Howard has me smiling, heart racing and looking for good music.

I can't even articulate how authentic this piece is. Devin and Willow had me so caught up it was ridiculous. I couldn't put this book down. The ups and downs of Devin and Willow's relationship was like a beautiful torture. I had to read the next chapter. I had to see if they would figure it out. This installment had me on a roller coaster of emotions. It is hands down the best book of the Prototype series. I mean how can Jacinta top this? (Specifically for this series)
Can we talk about her intrinsic ability to write intimacy??? Her love scenes are always good and what I like is she doesn't have to get vulgar to set every one of your senses on fire.
Jacinta's ability to close a chapter is so on point. How about that chapter one close though ? The story just flowed with an addictive pace. Wow. Just wow.

There was a wait for this, the third book in the series, and I for one, could never be mad or impatient about the wait when the books read the way this one did. This book is so lovely it left me content and satisfied like I’d just been tucked in with a warm blanket on a brutally, cold night.
It struck me as I read the last few pages of 'Keeping Willow' that one of the things I like best about Jacinta Howard’s writing, especially here in the Prototype series is you know as she tells us the story she loves her characters so unequivocally that somehow in that head space she practically wills you to love them too. It’s definitely no challenge at all to invest in the outcome of this couple, Devin and Willow, almost immediately, because of the simple yet deeply sensual way they describe the things they see and fall for in each other.
In some ways, this arguably seems like the least drama filled of all the Prototype stories, which is interesting since this is the only couple thus far that has to deal with both vastly disparate career paths as well as the natural anxiety and loneliness of being a long-distance couple. But it is the inherent sweetness of the relationship, that is the feast for the reader eyes and emotions, and not sweet in a cloying or timid way, but sweet, like only love and passion can be when it’s fresh, radiant, and unsullied.
Yeah, I seriously dug Willow and Devin. I even dug their problems and how they forged through them to get to what’s really on the other side of love… peace.

Sighs...Devin and Willow. From the first page, I was anxious. I been invested in the characters in this series since book one. The tension was tangible. My heart stayed in my throat. I didn't think their story would be this way. The relationship between Devin and Willow was always so sweet. Cute even. The hurtles that they faced here were so real. I was connected to Willow so much in this story because there was a time when I had the same struggle. I identified with Devin as well because when you have a dream you would hope that you're supported. This installment was a rollercoaster ride for me. I couldn't predict what would happen. There were points when I just had to put my Kindle down because the story line was becoming too real for me. The playlist (if you didn't know every story has a playlist) had me overwhelmed. This story was truly about growth and maturity in relationship. I loved Willow's transformation. Listen I don't know who Jacinta Howard models these men in the Prototype series after but if wishes could come true...mmph. I love this story and I cannot wait to read Bam and Cassie's story. Thank you for the momentary distraction from real life because I truly needed it.
